Beckman explained another reason for the difference in flavor between Hershey’s and European chocolate: “The drivers of our distinctive flavor are the use of higher amounts of milk cooked at a lower temperature so the milk and sugar do not caramelize,” Beckman said, adding that European milk chocolates, because of cooking at a higher temperature, have more caramel flavor notes.
Interesting. Guess they’re hanging onto the original process due to tradition and the fact that it doesn’t taste bad to everyone anyway
Interesting enough for me, the Hersey bars taste like vomit and are inedible to me, but kisses are mostly fine. If I really focus on th kisses flavor, I can still taste the vomit taste, but it’s like 95% less.

Some people are more sensitive to butyric acid which is where the vomit taste comes from. It’s kind of like how some people cilantro tastes like soap.
